I was running a lightning node using c-lightning about 9 months ago. Unfortunately the server was shutdown while a few channels were open.
I have restarted the server and updated c-lightning to the latest version (0.6.3). After restarting both bitcoind and lightningd I am left with the 2 stale channels.
zap:~# lightning/cli/lightning-cli listpeers
{
"peers": [
{
"connected": false,
"channels": [
{
"state": "CHANNELD_NORMAL",
...
"status": [
"CHANNELD_NORMAL:Attempting to reconnect"
],
...
}
]
},
{
"connected": false,
"channels": [
{
"state": "CHANNELD_NORMAL",
...
"status": [
"CHANNELD_NORMAL:Attempting to reconnect"
],
...
}
]
},
]
}
I am unable to connect back to these pairs using lightning/cli/lightning-cli connect x
, when I try I get timeout or route errors. (EDIT: which means the other nodes are now down).
